Get Stream Source

Deprecated. GET /2/users/:user_id/sources/:source_id returns a single stream source owned by the authenticated user. Use GET /2/sources/:id instead; this route will be removed on January 1, 2027.

This route is deprecated and will be removed on January 1, 2027, after which it returns 404. Use Get Source by ID (GET /2/sources/:id) instead, which takes the source id rather than the stream key. See the migration guide.

Returns a single source (must be owned by the authenticated user).

Endpoint: GET /2/users/:user_id/sources/:source_id

:source_id is the source’s stream key (its id on the deprecated routes).

Response

Same shape as an item inside the list response, wrapped:

{
  "source": { ... }
}

A source that doesn’t exist, or that belongs to another user, returns 404.
